Some time after the signing of the Armistice, it was determined by Congress and the War Department that the next of kin of AEF KIAs overseas could either leave the remains of their loved ones in the foreign cemeteries in Europe or have their remains brought back to the United States to be buried closer their bereaved families. The Berryman family ultimately decided it would be best for their son Edward to be repatriated to America and reburied there
.
This is the only group of photos depicting the post-war repatriation of AEF KIAs that I have ever encountered.
